Copenhagen ( /ˈkoʊpənheɪɡən/ or /ˈkoʊpənhɑːɡən/; Danish: København pronounced [kʰøb̥m̩ˈhɑʊ̯ˀn] ( listen), Latin: Hafnia) is the capital of Denmark and its most populous city, with an urban population of 1,213,822 (as of 1 January 2012 (2012 -01-01)[update]) and a metropolitan population of 1,935,746 (as of 1 April 2012 (2012 -04-01)[update]). With the completion of the transnational Øresund Bridge in 2000, Copenhagen has become the centre of the increasingly integrating Øresund Region. Within this region, Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are growing into a combined metropolitan area. Copenhagen is situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager.
First documented in the 11th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the beginning of the 15th century. During the 17th century, under the reign of Christian IV, it became a significant regional centre.
Copenhagen is a major regional centre of culture, business, media, and science, as indicated by several international surveys and rankings (see International rankings below). Life science, information technology and shipping are important sectors, and research & development plays a major role in the city's economy. Its strategic location and excellent infrastructure, with the largest airport in Scandinavia,Kastrup, located 14 minutes by train from the city centre, have made it a regional hub and a popular location for regional headquarters and conventions.
Thundering news hits me like a snowball
struck in my face and shattering
Covering me in a fine powder and mist
and mixing in with my tears
And I'm 57 but I could be 7 years old,
Cos I will never be able
to comprehend the expansiveness
of what I've just learned
But you, have disappeared
You have been released
You are flecks of light
You are missed
Somewhere, spinning round the sun
Circling the moon
Traveling through time
You are missed
Walking through unfamiliar streets
and I'm shaking unfamiliar hands
and I'm hearing unfamiliar laughs
and lovely language I don't understand
It's late October in Copenhagen
The skies are grey, the snow is falling
I see my breath outside, I'm freezing
I'm motionless, I'm disbelieving
But you, have disappeared
You have been released
You are flecks of light
You are missed
Somewhere, spinning round the sun
Circling the moon
Traveling through time
Copenhagen
I've never seen you look this bright
Just awaken
From the beauty snooze you took last night
Oh, this tingling feeling
To be the blood inside your veins
I've been leaving, believing
I could find a better place
And all this time
You were right here
Right here, right here
Right here, you're right here
Right here, right here
Right here, you're right here
Copenhagen
I've never felt your grip so tight
That care is taken
You'll catch me if I slip, I'll be alright
Oh, this wondrous feeling
To be walking your empty streets
I've been leaving, believing
I'd find better streets than these
But all this time
You were right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, you're right here
You're right here, you're right here
You're right here, you're right here
You're right here, right here
Right here, right here
Outside my window at my feet
In my heart in, in the air I breathe
Outside my window at my feet
In my heart in, in the air I breathe
Outside my window
In my heart
Outside my window at my feet
Well I went out last friday night with lil Mary Anne
She said please stay til mornin and she grabbed me by the can
She layed a big one on me, woo, suprised me with her tongue
But her suprise was waitin there between my cheek and gum
(Copenhagen!)
Not a woman getter
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
I admit that I'm a spitter
(Copenhagen!)
It'll drive your woman wild
So I went to the movies with my lil Peggy Sue
I had my dip there in my lip just like I always do
She didn't see me spittin in my Coca-Cola cup
She took a big ol swaller and gave that popcorn up!
(Copenhagen!)
It makes my dentist quesy
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
Hey hey quittin's not that easy
(Copenhagen!)
It'll drive your woman wild
The moral of the story is kinda sad but true
But if you stay til breakfast they'll wanna marry you
So if she's comin on too strong don't worry and don't pout
Just dip some Copenhagen if you wanna snuff her out
(Copenhagen!)
It's not a fever blister
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
Haha I learned it from my sister
(Copenhagen!)
It will drive your woman wild
(Copenhagen!)
Copenhagen
It makes me feel so good
Copenhagen
The way I know it should
I put a lil' chew in my mouth
Go spittin' and a slobberin' all around the house
That Copenhagen it makes me feel so good
Well I took a chew just the other night
It made me feel just fine
I grabbed my honeybaby and I pinched her ol' behind
She said you better spit out that chewing terbaccer
If you wanna kiss me on the big ol' smacker
That Copenhagen
It makes me feel so good
Copenhagen
It makes me feel so good
Copenhagen
The way I know it should
I put a lil' chew in my mouth
Go hackin' and a gaggin' all around the house
That Copenhagen it makes me feel so good
Well I was sitting in a bar room when I took a lil' dip
Drinkin' beer and talkin' but I had no place to spit
So I spit a stream out on the floor
The bouncer flung me out the door
That Copenhagen it makes me feel so good
Copenhagen
It makes me feel so good
Copenhagen
The way I know it should
I put a lil' chew in my mouth
Go spittin' and a slobberin' all around the house
That Copenhagen it makes me feel so good
Well it's a cure-all too
Cures fits, warts, freckles,coughs,colds, runny nose
Guaranteed not rip, run or snag
Make conception a wonder and childbirth a pleasure
That's Copenhagen
Hope for me, I hope for you,
We're snowdrops falling through the night.
We'll melt away before we land,
Two teardrops for somebody's hand.
Follow me into just one more Spring.
Copenhagen, you're the end,
Gone and made me a child again.
Warmed my feet beneath cold sheets,
Dyed my hair with your sunny streets.
Children aren't afraid to love
And laugh when life amuses them.
And our love is an antique song
For children's carousels
Esperanza para mí, espero por ti,
We're snowdrops falling through the night. Estamos Campanillas a través de la caída de la noche.
We'll melt away before we land, Vamos a fundir antes de que fuera la tierra,
Two teardrops for somebody's hand. Dos teardrop de la mano de alguien.
Follow me into just one more Spring. Sígueme en sólo una más de primavera.
Copenhagen, you're the end, Copenhague, que está al final,
Gone and made me a child again. Desapareció y me hizo un niño de nuevo.
Warmed my feet beneath cold sheets, Calentada por debajo de mis pies fríos hojas,
Dyed my hair with your sunny streets. Mi cabello teñido con su soleada calle.
Children aren't afraid to love Los niños no tienen miedo a amar
And laugh when life amuses them. Y se ríen cuando la vida les divierte.
And our love is an antique song Y nuestro amor es una antigua canción
Hate to leave you on the line
while the tears roll down your face
is there nothing i can say
you're breaking in front of me
and i cant do anything
can i reach you through this haze
all im asking is you stay positive
my heart is racing for you now
all im asking is you stay positive
breathing in and breathing out
things are gonna change this year

when you open up your eyes
the blood is running through your veins

sunlight shine upon your face
all im asking is you stay positive
my heart is racing for you now
all im asking is you stay positive
breathing in and breathing out
hold on hold on
im right here waiting
hold on hold on
im here for you

all im asking is you stay positive
my heart is racing for you now
all im asking is you stay positive
breathing in and breathing out
breathing in and breathing out
Now I went out last Sunday with my little Mary Anne
She said, "Please stay 'till Monday" and she grabbed me by the can
She laid a big one on me, surprised me with her tongue
But her surprise was waitin' there between my cheek and gum
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor
Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile
Copenhagen, do yourself a favor, chew
Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild
So I went to the movies with my little Peggy Sue
I had my dip there in my lip just like I always do
She didn't know I was spittin' in my Coca Cola cup
She took a great big swaller and then threw her popcorn up, whoa
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor
Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile
Copenhagen, do yourself a favor, chew
Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild
The moral of this story is so very sad but true
If you stay 'till breakfast friend, they'll wanna marry you
So try my little method and I promise you no doubt
Dip some Copenhagen if you wanna snuff 'em out
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor
Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile
Copenhagen, do yourself a favor, chew
Copenhagen, drivin' pretty girls wild
